Hofert,
a respected Kenmore businessman and owner of Hofert Jewelers at 2876 Delaware
Ave., passed away near his Lewiston home Feb. 2, 2015.

As
a longtime member of St. Christopher Roman Catholic Church in Tonawanda, and
involved parent at St. Andrew Country Day School in Kenmore, Hofert supported
numerous charitable causes - Camp Turner among them.

A past
president of the Rotary Club of Kenmore, the devoted family man took pride in
that organization's service to the community.

Hofert
was also a member of the Kenmore Village Improvement Society. He was the first
to sponsor the annual Mustache March 5K to raise money for ovarian cancer
research. The run has been renamed the Dominic Hofert Mustache March 5K in his
honor.

Keeping
alive Hofert's spirit of service to both his religious and secular communities
is the primary goal of his friends and family, and has resulted in the creation
of the Dominic Hofert Diamond Classic.
